Tried out Firefox browser (Mozilla's latest). The loading of pages is fast enough but the prog itself is too heavy for my system - everything is slowed down to a crawl and the swap-file is going mad.

Perhaps Opera 7 is also sluggish and fat. I don't know. But I doubt it given that the installs are much slicker. Geeks say it's because the code is more compact. Oh.

In any case, I have to loath latest-generation browsers due to outdated hardware at my end. A few sticks of ram would likely make a world of difference. Right. Except that my whole puter is worth the cost of a 128 stick. Small-apps is the word then.
